I am shocked that anyone would sign him. What is it about Ramirez that makes teams give him opportunity after opportunity? I understand that he's a great talent, or was a great talent, but he got caught using banned substances twice. Then there are guys like Barry Bonds, who were even better than Manny Ramirez, who were still producing at very high levels into their 40s unlike Ramirez, who never tested positive even once, yet no one would touch them. Bonds easily had the talent to play for longer but he was blacklisted out of the game. Why was Bonds tossed out while Ramirez gets nine lives? I don't get it.

Probably because Bonds was a jerk and nobody outside of his immediate family liked him.
